This is the day that the Lord has made...

I will rejoice and be glad in it!!!

Well, well, well, here I am sitting in my bed in the Double Tree Hotel in Burlington, Vermont. I am on a road trip for work with an area manager from Boston, Nice (pronounced not like the adjective but it is an Italian name pronounced as if there was an H in between the C & the E). Very cool name. She rocks. Such a heart of compassion and laughter.

God has been teaching me about laughter and how the average kid laughs 400 times a day- we as adults- around 4. Hmmm, is there something wrong there? I don't want to be that adult. I want to laugh, I want to feel life at its fullest and to make it MATTER. I want it to be not only an adventure but a simple example of a life that is lived for Christ. What does that look like?

To me, it looks like a joyful heart, a cheerful spirit, a humble, loving, generous and extending yourself kinda person. Have i lived like that lately? To my own perception- H E double hockey sticks NO. I have been complaining, grumbling, negative and just down right unJesus-like. Well, my dear friends - THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE!!!

APRIL FOOLS NO More... i am true to this. I want to be the change I want to see in the world, have no tight grip on my money, live for the right things, eat the finer foods in life with Passion- smiling with a genuine heart and internally praying throughout the day with the one who has saved me and made me anew. I want to dance more freely, laugh more frequently and take care of my body that which is a temple and a living sacrifice for my Lord.

Great full spirit is my new motto. Let me be a sweet fragrance offering myself and ALL of myself to Him who loves me and DIED for me to have LIFE.

So, I am here in Burlington. I am bringing home hot cocoa from Champlain to my 24 watchers. I am here for 1 more day and I am going to make the most of it! I am going to be an active servant for Christ- asking the Lord what He desires of me for the day and Loving all of those who NEED Christ- and people, there are SO many!

So, father, thank you for loving me, for keeping me safe from the evil in this world and I pray Lord that i would be IN the world but not of it, that I would make myself KNOWN to YOU- and have an AUDIENCE of 1. Let me live upside down. =)


How can I be a servant LEADER Lord? - I must be a slave of all. I am here to CHOOSE to be a SERVANT- 24/7 proposition- giving up my rights, my control, making it my lifestyle.
I have to make certain this is not a chore, that i really desire to do this in my heart. Oh father- help me have a heart like yours!
